Rick covers the MT2 lineup's three horsepower options, the 3002/3003 loader lift capacities, the 66-inch blade with skid steer mounting, cab ergonomics and visibility, rear hitch/PTO setup, and tire type. Good for a first look at features and layout; buyers wanting performance in action should look elsewhere.
Posted by The Homesteader's Store channel, presented by someone identifying as Rick, with a sales-oriented closing mention of pricing and financing suggesting a dealer-affiliated perspective.
The MT242 comes with the LS 3002 loader, which can lift 2000 pounds, described as an exceptional lifting capacity for this size of tractor.
It comes with a 66-inch blade that is pre-drilled for a bolt-on cutting edge and uses a skid steer two-arm mounting plate for easy removal and installing other attachments.
Rick, who is six foot one and over 200 pounds, says he sits easily inside, calls the layout comfortable, and notes visibility is outstanding with practically nothing blocking the view.
It has a standard three-point hitch, Class One, and a rear PTO at 540 RPM, with standard rear hydraulics controlled by a lever in the cab.
